2024 recap & late birthday post. Better late than never right?…😅
Since instagram and social media tend to be a glorified highlight reel of people lives (I’m guilty of this myself), I decided I would take a vulnerable new approach to a post and admit I failed… a lot.
I recently turned 32 years young and 2024 certainly was not a year defined by success or “the ups”.… I’ll reluctantly admit that failed a lot. I came up short on nearly every substantive goal I set for myself these last 365ish days. I fell short of becoming the most fit I ever have been, didn’t launch the businesses I have planned out, faltered in reading as many books as I had hoped, didn’t travel nearly as much as I would have liked, failed to call my mom enough, didn’t get out of my own way, I allowed distractions to deter me, I didn’t find love and I certainly didn’t make myself proud to look in the mirror at times.
Yet what I did learn…more than ever was to endure. In fact, “endure” was my motto for 2024. A bad day doesn’t mean a bad life and coming up short of lofty goals means you likely had to climb higher than where you began. I improved on my ability to “sit in it” when uncomfortable times presented themselves, to lean on others when in need, to be more vulnerable, to let no hard conversation go without resolution, I traveled around the world, I asked for mentorship, hired multiple coaches, have worked to set a foundation for this year to come and began building a relationship with god.
With all that behind said, as I was scrolling through my photos and selecting some for this post I was overcome with genuine joy. Joy because the people I’ve been blessed with in this life are second to none, in hindsight I did achieve huge strides in the pursuit of my goals and so much good came of becoming one year older & another year passing by. Thank you to all who were a part of my 32nd lap and I’m hoping you will be a part of the 33rd 🤝
Also, I hope you all make 2025 the best year yet!
